What’s everyone’s predictions for 2024? Be it small-scale tactical changes or large-scale predictions about players’ results for the year.
Some predictions for 2024:
Alcaraz will win RG. I have a feeling that he’ll be learning as much as he can from the matches he’s played against Djokovic this year, and I think he’ll put a lot of effort into tightening up his running FH and his BH generally. It’ll be interesting to see if he’ll attempt any mechanical tweaks to the BH side either this off-season or during the 2024 season.
Sinner will not win a Major or contest a Major final next year. His performance the last couple months has been spectacular to watch, but I cannot see him taking AO, RG, Wimbledon, or the USO off of Djokovic, Alcaraz, or Medvedev. Chances are he’ll encounter one of them (or a still-improving Zverev) in the SFs, and I would argue that his recent performances on indoor hard won’t translate cleanly to outdoor hard, or clay/grass. Djokovic/Med are too durable in rallies and will win on percentages if Sinner can’t continuously and reliably attack, and imo Alcaraz is too dynamically aggressive for Sinner’s defense to handle and dismantle for 5 sets.
